a) As the constants are equal, the situation represents a proportional relationship.
b) The constant of 2/3 cupcakes per minute means that in a minute, 2/3 of a cupcake is made.
<h3>What is a proportional relationship?</h3>
A proportional relationship is a function in which the output variable is given by the input variable multiplied by a constant of proportionality, that is:
y = kx
In which k is the constant of proportionality.
In this problem, the constants for each situation are:
k = 30/45 = (30/15)/(45/15) = 2/3 = 20/30.
Since the constants are equal, the situation represents a proportional relationship.
The constant of 2/3 cupcakes per minute means that in a minute, 2/3 of a cupcake is made.

Answer:
25
Step-by-step explanation:
a² + 7a + 7
a = 2
Plug in the value of 2 for every occurance of a.
(2)² + 7(2) + 7
First, solve the exponent.
4 + 7(2) + 7
Now, multiply.
4 + 14 + 7.
Add.
25
This is your answer.

Answer:
41 and 77
Step-by-step explanation:
x: his age the first time he went to space
y: his age the second time he went to space
the second time he went to space he was 5 years younger than twice the age when he went his first time, then:
y = 2x - 5
the sum of both ages is 118, then:
x + y = 118
If you replace y = 2x - 5 in x + y =118:
x + 2x - 5 = 118
3x = 123
x = 41
replacing x:
41 + y = 118
y = 118 - 41
y = 77
so when he was 77, he was 5 years younger than twice 41 ( 41*2 = 82 => 82 - 5 =77)
